Finland-based Ginolis, an innovative provider of assembly automation, liquid handling and quality inspection solutions, has announced the launch of Pixie, a standard system for automated optical quality inspection.

Ginolis Pixie can be used to inspect a wide variety of medical device and diagnostic components, including difficult to measure colours and materials, such as glossy, matte and transparent surfaces, said a statement from the company.

Measurement possibilities are dimensions in 2D/3D and visual defects such as spots, impurities, scratches, air bubbles, voids and foil continuity. Pixie can be configured with two to five servo driven axis movement and the high-speed measurement capabilities make it suitable for inline and stand-alone solutions, it said.

Pia Pihl, metrology specialist, Ginolis, said: “Pixie is the result of combining our company’s core values from innovative and flexible automation with novel optical sensors. Our users will be able to analyse both topography and intensity values from the same scan and at high speed.”

“Pixie will provide our customers with unique solutions for metrology and quality inspection,” Pihl added.

Ginolis will be showcasing the Pixie Quality Inspection platform at AACC Clinical Lab Expo in Chicago, US, from July 31 to August 2; and Medica in Düsseldorf, Germany, from November 12 to 15, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
